    Contradiction refers to the remaining vestiges from Capitalism, ie a State, Class, and Money. I suggest reading up on Historical Materialism and Dialectics.

    Secondly, failing because of “the human factor” is a purely idealistic outlook and not a materialist analysis, you’re arguing off of vibes.

        Yes, you are quite literally an idealist by citing “the Human Factor” as a necessary reason for issues faced by AES countries.

        Idealism proposes the idea of unchanging Human characteristics, Materialism proposes the idea that environments shape ideas. The former is undoubdtedly unscientific, while the latter is scientific.

        Fighting for a goal is not what I am referring to as Idealism.
